Hello all!
Again I have a proposal to enhance makepkg PURGE_TARGETS handling.
I think that enabling customizing PURGE_TARGETS inside PKGBUILD
would be a benefit in the following context:
Without checking, I would have thought that exporting
"PURGE_TRAGETS=..." within a package function would just work. I guess
the old value would not be restored afterwards though.
* I have a software package that contains: an application, a
static library, a dynamic library, and some development files;
* I want to create separate packages: something-bin, something-lib
(shared library), something-dev (include and static library), and
maybe something-doc;
What I have to do today (maybe there is a different way, please
correct me): I create a `something-lib_package` function in which I
make a normal install, but then I delete all unneeded files.
Given this is a fairly common thing to do in the Linux world, most
software supports this in the Makefiles. "make install-libs" "make
install-docs" etc.
